Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, whose illustrious career has spanned over four decades, says that despite his seniority, he does not "intimidate" younger co-actors.
"No younger actor gets intimidated by me. It's actually the contrary. They are so good that I make lots of mistakes in front of them and it's really bad," Amitabh said during a group interaction here.
Big B also praised his "Piku" co-star Deepika Padukone and actor Ranveer Singh's performances in "Bajirao Mastani".
"They are all very good and talented even in their very first appearances. I can't pick one name. Even if you minutely look for their mistake you can't find it. I can't find a mistake when I see Ranveer or Deepika in 'Bajirao Mastani'.
"Priyanka, Alia or Kangana, all these actors are so good with the kind of work they do, it's unbelievable," the 73-year-old said while adding that he admires the "brilliance and talent" of these actors.
On the work front, Big B is currently shooting for "TE3N" along with actors Vidya Balan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in Kolkata. The film is slated to hit the screens later this year.
Bachchan will be next seen on the big screen in Bejoy Nambiar's "Wazir". The film, which also stars Farhan Akhtar, Aditi Rao Hydari and Neil Nitin Mukesh, will release on January 8.
